less, spent his day OF rest in horse-racing
and various similar amusements. He had
thus gone through the farce Of compro-
mise with his conscience by yielding to
her in one point, but that one involving
only an indulgence which offered him no
very strong temptation.
Il wonder how you can bring your
self to wear false hair, said lady who
was watching a friend, as she deftly
rolled the deiatched puffs which formed
her head gear. 1T seems SO insincere! Y

the other. "Perhaps you feel about it

birds lay white or nearly white eggs.
